    Default Cauliflower Salad

    1 Head Cauliflower cleaned & cut florets into bit size pieces (throw out steams),1/2 Head Lettuce cut into small pieces , 1 pound bacon fried & crumbled ( I purchase real bacon bits in a jar ),3 hard boiled eggs mashed,1 small onion diced into small pieces , 1-8oz. package of shredded cheddar cheese , Miracle Whip (about 1 or so cups. Will look like it is kind of pasty) Mix all ingredients together & let sit over night . Next day stir well and taste add more miracle whip if needed . When it sets over night the lettuce releases moisture into the salad & that is why you only add more Mayo if needed . Store in covered dish . This is what I take to my families dinners ( by request ).You can put the full head of lettuce in the salad if you want .This makes a LARGE bowl.

    It is salad dressing, similar to mayonnaise but with a little kick.

    Are you chopping the lettuce into bite size pieces? I don't use head lettuce, only leaf lettuce, that should work too. I think I will try this.

    Re: cauliflower...you say only use tops...not the stems? Why not chop them up for crunch?

    We do this one all the time at our house. You can toss anything you like in the salad part. I usually do lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli, sugar snap peas, carrots, onions, bacon, and Parmesan cheese. I also add a bit of sweetener to the mayo.

    I don't use the stems because I think it gives it a kind of bitter taste
